GF Pine Tree by Ghislaine

I highly suggest that you combine the three filters together into one filter. There are a bunch of reasons why I think having three separate filters instead of 1 filter is great, but it's really really really inconvenient. And as much as there are reasons for having three separate filters, there are more reasons why you should just have one since the end result is SIMILAR.

Remember, it's nice how there are three separate filters. I see how you work and otherwise. But what really counts is functionality, ease of use, practicality, and high quality end result. These filters generally have a "decent result" with a set of "ok-understandable parameters" but it does not fulfill functionality and practicality. It's very important that you design filters based on those parameters, otherwise the FF library gets filled with "unnecessary variations of the same filter" which is where this series is going.

If you are producing this for personal needs, you should maintain it that way instead of uploading it onto the library. The library is public, and that means people are looking at the filters and also downloading them. Now if that filter becomes for the public, that's when you should build it for public usage, or other words respecting the user's interests. And this is where I suggest that you combine those filters together to form a single unit. That'll really make this filter shine and also more interesting as well as playful.

So I mean, the choice is yours. This is just a critique. Just don't wanna kill the fun, but I think its important in itself to understand what it means.



So yeh.
